- Fun Fact!
- The turkey is more interesting than it looks. Did you know that male turkeys are called “gobblers,” after the “gobble” call they make to announce themselves to females (which are called “hens”)? They also use this gobble to compete with other males. Other turkey sounds include “purrs,” “yelps” and “kee-kees.” We're just wondering what sound you need to make to call them for dinner?
